No fairytale

While his parent club may have enjoyed their Sunday afternoon (Paul's match report to follow), the same cannot be said of Curtis Good, whose League Cup final dream turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. Despite impressive vocal backing from 32,000 supporters at Wembley, Bradford were ruthlessly destroyed 5-0 by a Swansea side who showed no concern for sentiment. Our man, playing at left-back, was withdrawn at the interval with the score at 2-0.

The Bantams' season is far from over, though, with the play-offs still a possibility. Squeezing in depends on how quickly they can put yesterday's thrashing and all of the media kerfuffle behind them. After the caviar of Wembley, it's back to the bread and low-fat margarine of League Two on Wednesday, when Dagenham & Redbridge are the visitors.
